Radiator valve replacement
Are your radiator valves looking a bit tired or not working correctly?
They're not something you typically think about until they go wrong, and its surprising how many people don't understand how Thermostatic radiator valves work or indeed can benefit you and your gas bill.
You could "save £75 and 320kg of carbon dioxide a year by installing and correctly using a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves" *energy saving trust
Thermostatic radiator valves do not control the boiler; they reduce the flow of water through the radiator they are fitted to when the temperature goes above a certain setting. Set them to the level you want for the room; a lower setting uses less energy and so will save you money.
Replacement is a very straight forward job, and you can expect to pay roughly £84 for a one off radiator (supply and install), with prices getting better the more radiators you do in one hit.
